Devils Rule East

Flyers roster

Brodeur didn't actually shoot the puck in the net, instead he was credited with the goal as the last Devil to touch the puck before the Flyers put it into their own net.

"I was kind of surprised," Brodeur said. "I was trying to get ready for the power play. The next thing you know they announce your name scoring the goal."

At 9:43 of the third period a delayed penalty was signaled against the Devils and the Flyers pulled rookie goalie Brian Boucher for a sixth attacker. New Jersey's Sergei Brylin pressured Daymond Langkow at the Philadelphia blue line and Langkow ended up putting the puck in his own net.

"I got a sick feeling to my stomach," Langkow said. "I've just got to forget about it. It's done. I just didn't have control and I tried to push it away, and it went right in."

It was Brodeur's second career goal. He scored his first goal by actually shooting the puck the length of the ice on April 17, 1997, in a playoff game against Montreal.

The Devils have are unbeaten in their last six games (5-0-1) and have the league's best record with 82 points.

"We're on a tear, we have been doing real good," Brodeur said. "We have gotten away from teams just because we are winning, not because these guys are bad teams. Again, when the playoffs start, everything erases and starts at zero."
